anyone been to highlandtown lately it's about an hour from my house me and my dad were gonna take the kayaks down just don't want it to be a waste of time wandering how water level and weed situation is, any updates would be appreciated ?
You beat me to it... went here when I was 14 and haven't been back... I'm about to turn 32 next month. No way I'd kayak that lake. Snakes ran everyone off the lake the day I was out there.
used to live not far from it and the dam area on the rocks snakes everywhere. Went there bout 2 yrs ago. Some guys told me they saw moccasins there but didnt think they stayed alive in OH. I had a giant water snake go out from my feet there and chase me along the bank. Kept his head out of the water. I used to catch some small bass over by the boat ramps. Lot of 3+ ft huge strain of carp there too.
Sweet Mary..them snakes . 37 yrs ago i used to wander down to highland town with my fishin pole . Snakes everywheres.snakes in the trees snakes in the grass. Snakes on the water. I tied up over a hundred of them slimers and made me a raft out of them. Lil buggers wiggle around and we go up and down the lake on snake power.i cast and cast but all i caught was...you guessed IT SNAKES. Went back there yesterday.Saw a snake..my brother went 11 years ago there ..saw a snake
Fished shore only but caught most on the far side over by the dock area. Nothing more than a lb or so. Ive seen crappie and cats caught at the dam there with minnows. Some flip lay downs there and use frogs over in the swamp area. Careful using hardbaits, few submerged stumps and wood in the water. Only seen the water snakes in the rip rap was in mid summer when it was hot.
